The LED notifications setting uses the flash on your device when it is asleep, to alert you when you have new notifications in LINE Lite. This feature does not apply to devices that do not have an LED flash.
The light will flash when the following occurs:
- When you receive a new message
- When you receive a group invitation
- When a new member joins your group

To turn chat notifications on and off please follow the steps below:

If you see a speaker icon with a line through it next to your friend’s name in a chat, or when you tap the dots at the top right and the menu shows "Notifications On", it means notifications are turned off for this chat.

With LINE Lite, you can use basic features that include voice/video calls and chats (where you can send text, photos, location information, and interpreting as well as weather BOTs) for free. This includes calls and chats between friends who use different mobile phone carriers, or who live in different countries.
However, please be aware that just like any other app, your data packets will be used. You need to have a data plan with your carrier in order to use the service.
Depending on your plan, you may be charged data fees every time you connect to LINE Lite. We recommend using a data plan with a flat rate.
Note: In general, if you're using a data plan with a flat rate, you shouldn't be charged additional fees when using LINE Lite on a 3G, LTE, or Wi-Fi connection. For more details, please check with your mobile phone carrier.
